The female is black, and has an elevation in front of 

 each of the posterior ocelli, exactly like those on the ver- 

 tex of A", morio, from which species it only differs in 

 having the first three or four segments of the abdomen 

 ferruginous, mth their apical margins more or less broadly 

 black. 1 believe this insect to be a variety of A', morio. 

 The male is of a frilvous-yellow, its antennre being only 

 slightly fuscous above towards their base ; the fii-st seg- 

 ment of the abdomen is narrowly bordered with black ; 

 the rest of the segments very broadly so, having only a 

 narrow line of yellow at their basal margins ; the wings 

 are flavo-hyaline, the nervures dark ferruginous. Length 

 of male fourteen lines ; of female fifteen to sixteen lines. 

 The sexes are united on the authority of ]\Ir. Dyson, who 

 sent them from Venezuela with the indication of their 

 affinity.
